Workforce

Cobalt has a recruitment catchment of over 1.1 million people. This pool of labour is well trained in a diverse range of skills which are relevant to today’s business needs. Additional subsidised bespoke training courses can be provided at short notice.

The North East has a strong history of shift working and staff turnover in the region is typically low. It is said, with some conviction, that employees in the North East are amongst the most loyal in the country. They are also extremely cost effective.

Availability, Flexibility, Enthusiasm, Commitment, Cost. These are some of the people components of the Cobalt Advantage.

"We decided to expand at Cobalt, because we are very pleased with our existing facility there and delighted with the service and support received from Highbridge, as well as the availability of a high calibre workforce in North Tyneside."
